    Well done guys, the God Peptideus looks down on you favourably.
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."

    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    not bad! I would fold again but with me having no job again and my dad having a 90% chance of losing his job this year, i cant afford the electricity

    If nextyear is good then perhaps ill be folding with a whole new rig .

    If my GPUs weren't quite as loud, I'd gladly fold for HEXUS. Maybe after I get a nice new VGA cooler.

    Great job to everyone involved!

    Even idling, my gaming PC - which is on my right, as opposed to my work PC, which is on my left - is too loud...the constant humming would just start to annoy me if I was sat next to it all day.

    There's a reason my work PC is built with only one very large, very slow fan

    Couldn't you guys perhaps burn a few work units off as part of your stability tests when putting systems together?

    That may sound like a silly suggestion but it really isnt. It's GPU and CPU based, and in my experience if an overclock's going to fail, folding @ home will find it's weak spot and bring it down to size. I've had processors pass 12+hours on small ffts, while running 32m places in superpi while also running 32m places in Prime95 on a loop, and these have fallen over when folding.

    What do Scan use to stability test their overclocks?
